Inconsistent access to emojis in chat

[Pedanticus]

I am able to use emojis 😊 in the chat feature while in most meetings, but there are a few hosted by others in which I am unable to do so. I originally thought that the host had turned off emojis for everyone, but others have been able to use them without issue.

I am not a part of an organization or group with specific chat parameters so I am at a loss as to the cause or even steps to fix this.

Here are the steps that I've taken to fix the issue so far: 

• Checked all settings (both on the local client and the superuser account)
• Reviewed the boards for ideas
• Asked chatbot
• Checked for updates
• Uninstalled/reinstalled client on my PC

I am running Zoom Workplace Pro and it has been updated to current version 6.1.0.
